Carrying excessive body weight can increase the risk of which condition by placing stress on joints?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which condition is associated with carrying excessive body weight by placing stress on joints.
Option 1: Osteoporosis. While osteoporosis involves weak bones and increased fracture risk, the prompt emphasizes joint stress from weight; osteoporosis is not primarily caused by mechanical joint loading.
Option 2: Anemia. Anemia relates to low hemoglobin and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood; it has no direct mechanism linking excess weight to joint stress in the way described here.
Option 3: Diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder; although obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, the wording of the question focuses on joint stress and weight-related joint conditions, not glucose metabolism, so this is not the best fit for the described mechanism.
Option 4: Osteoarthritis. This condition involves progressive joint degeneration that is exacerbated by excess weight, which increases the load on weight-bearing joints (knees, hips, spine) and accelerates wear and tear. This aligns directly with the concept of stress on joints from carrying excess weight.
Thus, the option that correctly answers the question is the one describing joint wear due to mechanical load from obesity: Osteoarthritis.
